THE BIOLOGICAL AGE OF A SUPERMAN

By: | Tags:

A recent Spanish report announced that CR7, aged 33, has a body of a young man of 23, based on physical data and performance of the Portuguese Superman!

On the other hand, CR7 has 50% of muscle mass, and the majority of footballers do not exceed 46%. But if all this is the result of many years of […]
